Schools Seek Word On Retirements

December 19, 1998

WINDSOR — Public school officials are proposing an incentive plan for employees who notify the school system about their retirement plans early.

Under the proposed plan, employees who notify the board of education of their retirement plans before Jan. 29, 1999, would be eligible to get a subsidy for their portion of the cost of their health insurance after they retire.

Officials said the advantage of the program is that it would allow the schools to have more accurate information on employee retirement intentions, so school officials can use the information to better prepare budgets for the coming school year.
